Topic: forum.samba-tng.org

Just wanted to let everyone know, where mine is: http://forum.samba-tng.org/

It's not great or anything. It's 1.1.4 out of the box. With two simple modifications:
- Add a link like here in the top bar back to the main site.
- Show the last visit/last action in the profile. (not nice or anything, I'm just curious.)

I haven't even touched the stylesheets or anything, I like the default colors.
They don't match the main site, but I don't care.

Just updated to 1.1.5.
We weren't really affected by the security problems (register_globals is off, I don't have scripting enabled in my browsers.)

Was a piece of cake using the patch file and the only-changed-files distribution.
- Use the patch to upgrade
- Take the  11_to_115 from the only-changed.

Nice to see the patch files are coming to good use :)

Just a quick recommendation for patch files:

Don't use -b or -B. In the long run, it will give conflicts.
Use -N, so new files are included in the patch.

Oh, if 1.2 comes into the interesting phase, let me know, I can test upgrading, if you want to.

I had no idea. I figured it would do the opposite :)

In the first place it ignores whitespace. so it makes the diff smaller.
But if a second diff in the same area is done, it will see the _new_ whitespace.
And the new whitespace isn't in a patched version, cause it was ignored in the first patch.
Hope this unnice explanation is okay.

So better ship a complete patch.
